  • Publication number: 20250217346
    Abstract: A method for artificial intelligence-based automated parser creation includes obtaining a first event log of one or more first event logs of first telemetry data. The first event log includes one or more event log key-value pairs. The method includes generating, using a first artificial intelligence (AI) model, a portion of parser code to map a first event log key of an event log key-value pair of the one or more event log key-value pairs to a predefined field. The method includes generating an event log parser that includes the portion of the parser code. The method includes causing the event log parser to be executed on a second event log of one or more second event logs of second telemetry log data.

  • Publication number: 20250139277
    Abstract: A method includes identifying, by a processing device, a data structure including cells to store data, wherein the cells are arranged within rows and columns of the initial data structure. A scrambled data structure is created in which at least a subset of cells of the initial data structure is rearranged such that each cell of the rearranged subset of cells is located in at least one of a different row or a different column of the initial data structure. Responsive to receiving a user request to access the data of the initial data structure, the processing device determines whether to provide the user with access to the initial data structure or the scrambled data structure.

  • Patent number: 12204433
    Abstract: Systems and methods include identifying fields associated with a log event of telemetry data and, for each field, selecting a key from multiple keys and generating a field-key mapping that includes a mapping from the fields to the selected key. The systems and methods generate an event log parser extension that includes the field-key mappings and validate the parser extension by testing its performance on sample log events. The systems and methods then execute a base parser and the validated event log parser extension on event logs to convert the event logs into a standardized format and perform data analytics on the standardized event logs to identify trends in the event logs and identify possible threats.

  • Patent number: 12054261
    Abstract: An active vibration control system (AVCS) and method for reducing motion and/or vibration of a seat frame within an aircraft includes vibration sensors, a controller, and force generators. In some embodiments, the vibration sensors and/or the force generators are attached to the seat frames. In other embodiments, the vibration sensors and/or the force generators are attached to aircraft structures, proximate to the seat frame. By monitoring the motion and/or vibration of the seat frame, the controller calculates a cancelling force to be generated by the force generators to reduce the vibration experienced by the seat frame and its occupant. Such seat frame vibration control can be implemented as a separate AVCS in an aircraft, or can be integrated in an existing AVCS that is also configured to provide vibration control in other parts thereof.

  • Publication number: 20230009337
    Abstract: I am a practicing physician who has not only recommended these same vitamin ingredients to roughly over 1000 patients. I have also monitored the progress long with other health recommendations such as exercise, proper diet, rest, and spinal adjustments. I have achieved with the patient amazing results of immune support and a reduction of inflammation (reducing inflammation reduces pain) in an inhospitable environment such as today. I am perhaps alone in my knowledge and patient experience and I wish to share these achievements with the world (companies will copy my vitamin volume ideas). However, I must first patent my results of my many healthy patients.

  • Publication number: 20220103101
    Abstract: Actuators are components of machines, which move and/or control a mechanism or system. During operation, actuators can experience regeneration events, with the actuator actually generating excess energy (e.g., regenerative energy) which must be stored or dissipated to avoid damaging the power supply. An actuator motor controller is configured to implement field oriented voltage control and flux weakening voltage control without current sensors. Dissipating regenerative energy includes providing a motor controller to command a motor drive to modify an input voltage, or to dissipate regenerative energy in a dump circuit. This command can cause motor windings to dissipate regenerative energy. Systems having a plurality of actuators distribute regenerative energy from one actuator to another. A central controller provides centralized regeneration dissipation control for the plurality of actuators.
